SO year aa.00 Jury, believing a mnn Innocent, would return a verdict of guilty just because the public was disgusted with acquittals in other cases. The local public docs not want Innocent men convicted. What the Klamath public has been talking about recently and we have merely comment ed upon It objectively bolls down to just this: Violators of criminal laws should be convict ed and punished. There's nothing the matter with that. Pub lic sentiment on that line Is needed to help de stroy the unwelcome reputation of Klamath county as a place where one can commit a crime and get away with it. Member. Aaaoclatad Praaa Member Audit Bureau ClrculaUon Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY The plan to create an all-year park head quarters for Crater Lake national park in the Fort Klamath district near the south entrance f the park has been in the wind for some time. It is a logical part ol lake into an all-year park a status in which it can best lerve the recreational needs of the big mid-coast area in which it is located. Up to now, summer head quarters has been maintained inside the park at the high altitude headquarters estab lishment, and in the winter the main administrative office has been located in the -fed- EPLEY ral building at Medford. A sub-office has been maintained for many years in the federal building at Klamath Falls, with the assistant superintendent in charge here in the winter period. Moving headquarters from park to town and back again each year has had obvious disadvantages. If the park is to go on a year around basis, as now appears certain, the sensi ble thing is to set up a year-around headquar ters. It was decided to do this at a more ad vantageous site than the present park head quarters three miles from the rim, where snow depth reached 10 to 12 feet each year. A new site has been selected on a south exposure in the yellow pine area near the south entrance out of Fort Klamath, where snow depth reaches only a foot or two. The whole administrative operation of the park can be conveniently di rected from this point, and it should lend itself advantageously as a site for equipment storage and maintenance, etc. This location is only a few miles from the Wood river valley town of Fort Klamath, and It should mean much to that community, which will become virtually the headquarters town of Oregon's only national park. e Active Recreation As a year-around park, Crater lake will have a much greater appeal to those with active recreational interests. The park has great acenic attraction in both winter and summer, but it also has important recreational possibili ties besides inspirational sightseeing. It can be made, with proper sympathetic policy on the part of the park service, a fine winter sports activity area, while in summer fishing, hiking and horseback riding may well be developed far beyond their present status. It is well for us to keep in mind that these active recreational features appeal to younger people who, now that the war is over, are back among us in full force. These are the people who, if they like it here and stay here, will make our area go places. a Sentiment On Crime When a young defendant came before circuit eourt here for sentencing this week, his attor ney made a plea for clemency on the ground that his client was the victim of a public reac tion to recent acquittals in criminal cases here. He said in effect that there had been pub lished and public criticism of recent jury ac tion, and indicated the jury in this particular case was influenced by this situation to bring in a verdict against his client. It was an intrigu ing talking point, and we don't blame the at torney for using it. But we do not believe any Klamath county News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 8 The story is told I do not know how trulythat State Secretary Byrnes faced a verbal firing squad in the cabinet before his recent firming of inter national policy against encroachments by Russia around the world. In the inner group, it is related that Presi dent Truman allowed his cabinet advisers to express plainly to Byrnes their dissatisfaction at the total lack of results from his position as a diplomatic neutral. Indeed, a majority is said to have pointed out to him that to be a neutral in conflicts between democracy and totalitar ianism is to be ineffective. Some of Mr. Byrnes' friends are trying to stamp out the story, contending he wrote one or two of his firming notes before the date of the meeting at which the execution of appease ment, if not of Mr. Byrnes, took place. a a a a Affair Arranged I am inclined to believe the story because Mr. Truman stepped out conspicuously on the same platform from which the Churchill ad dress, urging an Anglo-American alliance, was presented. Mr. Truman did not commit him self, except by his presence, but when a Mis souri University grants an honorary degree to anyone, you may be sure Mr. Truman arranged the affair. Indeed, he is supposed to have read the address in advance. You may recall Mr. Churchill paid a final visit to Washington a week or more before they both went out to gether for the historic occasion. The union of these two men for the occa sion, however, should not be interpreted as a definite forecast that all Mr. Churchill wanted will come to pass, immediately or even soon. : Indeed, common interpretation around the coun try, judging by the comment and reaction, was that Mr. Churchill was inspired by a desire to give a boost to the proposed loan-gift of more than 4 billion dollars to the British government. No doubt this is true, but the deeper meaning of his words should not be lost in such an obvi ous deduction. The important thing is he spoke out against Russia. He removed the diplomatic velvet from his tongue and talked of realties. He dropped pretense and said what he thought. a a Plain Words Not In Order Such plain words have not been much In order around here lately. The Byrnes policy had been founded on other factors than plain speaking, to say the least. I think it is fair to say the advocates of the Byrnes school of tac tics (largely confined to the left-wing groups) were timid in their fear to face truth. The mere facing of it in these new diplo matic ventures therefore represents progress. The confused world cannot find stability and peace in diplomatic trickery, appeasements, - spoken words without meaning, written and sworn words not to be carried Into effect, or any of these devices all lacking confidence, security and good faith necessary to sound un derstanding. Agreement must be built upon these ingredi ents as a foundation, or they are meaningless and dangerous. To fear that war will come is in itself a position of weakness. It will come either way, if it is to come, because it can come only through action of our adversaries. If we face the facts, we will know what the score is and we will be prepared. If we dodge the issue and retreat from position to position in the face of mere diplomatic pressures, and delude ourselves into believing surrender is peace, our fate is in the hands of our adversar ies. These events, both on the inside and out, represent a first essential step from confusion toward peace. Fire Breaks Out On Huge Liner Bui Flames Doused ' SOUTHAMPTON, March 8 (P) Tire broke out this morning on the Queen Elizabeth, largest liner in the world, but firemen xtinguished the flames a short time later. The blaze started in the isola. Hon hospital on the port side of the 85,000-ton vessel's prome nade deck, an official announce ment by the Cunard liner said.

(To the Editor) -To all whom it may concern: If you want to risk your lives just ride one of our city buses! What kind of care lessness is excusable when it comes within a hair's breadth of taking a child's life? Oh yes, we adults have been shut in their doors before, but we are capable of taking care of ourselves but when it concerns a five-year-old child that is an altogether dif ferent story. What Is my gripe? Well here it is. This afternoon, February 27, at about 1:20 on East Main, on the Shasta way bus, I got off the bus through the rear door. I made my exit safely and had just turned around and had just taken my five-year-old daugh ter's hand to assist her off when the bus started away. For an instant I - pictured , my child bounced off that bus and under the wheels, but through an act of Providence, I was able to jerk her arm and pull her off just as the bus was wheeled merrily on its way. - Would like to know the ex cuse of the driver. If they are unable to see all the passengers they had better install more rear view mirrors. If you want wit nesses there were plenty. Here's to lousy bus service, Mrs. Dorothy Caldwell, 1534 Madison. DEVELOPING ENLARGING PRINTING t(H(leuuoodl PHOTO SERVICE 311 Uadarwood Bids.

Boundary Dam Site Studied A preliminary reconnaissance of the boundary dam site on Lost river was made Thursday by U. S. Bureau of Reclamation Geologists William Gardner and Robert Gamer from tho region al office, Sacramento. This project has not been definitely decided upon, E. La ton Stephens, superintendent of the local bureau office, stated today but geologists who looked over the site will proanro an outline of exploratory work re quired. The tentative layout will determine where work with borings and test bits should be made. v Work should commence from 30 to 60 days later, if the proj ect is approved, boring at the indicated places to determine foundation conditions at the site and locate suitable material for construction of Boundary dam, which will be located on Lost river about one mile above Malone dam. The dam has been proposed mainly for flood control in con nection with further develop ment of Tule lake lands and would control the run-off of about 135 square miles of area tributary to Lost river below Clear lake dam. It would also increase available water supply to be used for irrigation purposes. Classified Ads Bring Results. LEGAL NOTICES VnTIPR OP riNAt. AtTOITN'T NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that tha undenlgned.

This coun try doesn't al low women to vote, but when you i n v 0 s 1 1 guta tho ques tion you on counter tho striingo dr eam stance that the Indies In general do ..nt nt,nnl trk be overanxious for suffrngo In polltlciil affairs, although most nf them would like a hand in sottling social problems. Mnnv of tho real crusaders for completo voting rights are among tho elderly women, who were active in the days when the militant suffragettes wore a world phenomenon. Curiously enough, tho younger generation, brondly speaking, would bo con tent with partial suffrage, at least for the present. Politics ComDlloatad Tho average Swiss woman Is essentially a housewife and hus the old lusiuoncci notion mm inn wnmnn'.i nlnco Is in the home, studying mo weuuro ui mo i- i v. Also swui DO mcs are conv nllcnted nnd demand more of the voters' time than most house wives feel they can spare from their home duties. There arc few countries where citizens participate so Intimately in the affairs of state as here in little Switzerland. The Swiss looks on this participation not as a "right" but as a "duty," with the result that he Is constantly engaged In settling the problems of his community or the country as a whole. To lllustrnto. take the city of Bern, whose government Is 800 years old. Most local laws go di rectly to the voters, who arc culled tin about onco a month to deal wlih them. In some places the citizens even elect the scnool teachers by direct vote. Burden On Rich The Geneva Canton council a few years ago passed a law abol ishing taxes for people of the lower and middle classes and putting the whole burden on the rich. In Geneva all tax measures must be submitted to the voters as a whole, and In this caso tncy turned down the law as being unfair even though the majority would benefit by it. These Alpine cantons still have the old form of democracy which they have practised for over 600 years. All the peasants get together In April with a lot of pageantry and, alter cieouic vote on the business of the can ton. They stand In a big circle maybe 5000 or 6000 men and vote by a show of hands. If the presiding official can't deter mine the vote In this way the circle separates Into two oppos ing bodies and there Is a count of noses. Everybody turns out for this town meeting, that is all the voters, but the chances are that somebody has to stay home and that will be mother. This intimate association of tho cillr.cn with local nffulrs ex tends In the national govern, mont. Tho federal assembly can puss h law, but If ilO.OOO v (i tins naked for a plebiscite they ran luivu it, It 00,000 people waul n law, there must bo a plebiscite. Ami so it goes.
